Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must begin with TIL. Linking to a source of info is optional, but highly recommended as it helps to spark discussion.

Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-TIL posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-TIL posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.

Why is there regular Spam?
SPAM is great. I will hear no slander.
Does Spam need meat to be great? Feels like an easy swap to me!
Totally agree. I love SPAM but I'll bet a non-meat version is totally doable.
Are you Hawaiian?
E: or maybe Filipino?
Nm this has been covered.
Neither! SPAM is cheap fatty salty protein. What's not to love? It's isn't worse than a hot dog.
Your face isn't worse than a hot dog
(Things I brag about on my tinder profile)
Thank you, I moisturize.
Lips and assholes, in cube form!
/signed.
You just declared war on the entire country of Hawaii.
Kingdom
No, Hawaii.
Lol, what? Yeah, the kingdom of Hawaii, right?
I can't tell if we're actually saying different things.
I thought that a country has to be recognized as a country by other countries whereas a kingdom has to... do... something different. And royalty or something?
Fuck it, let's go back to arguing. Yes! Kingdom!
I’m confused, I’m telling you its the country of Hawaii and you’re saying it’s the country of Kingdom and I’m just trying to say they love SPAM and now you’re picking fights.
Well when you say it like that, I sound like a moron.
But I'm feeling stubbornly ignorant enough to support what I'm supposedly arguing.
The country of Kingdom loves Hawaii which is why they constantly spam my email. If you don't forward this message to 10 friends in the next two days, Jesus is gonna sneak into your room while you're sleeping and punch you in the stomach.
Oh I was hoping he’d slip me little Jesus if you know what I mean.
Jesus comes twice.
Okay, but only cuz you've got an honest face.
Tonight, Jesus is gonna nail you
Since when is Hawaii a country brah?
The House of Kamehameha will rise again and everyone will be too scared to do anything because no one is gonna wanna wait to find out if they can actually do that DBZ shit.
In the next episode of DBZ, will Goku finish the spirit bomb in time for the end of the battle in 5 minutes, only the next 5 episodes will tell,
Can you please stay on track here?
We’re talking about SPAM and the country of Hawaii’s love for it.

And South Korea.
They’re pretty shitty vegans because they eat seven million cans of Spam per year.
Those are really small numbers.
622/1,000,000 vegans
If everyone went to a vegan restaurant at the same time there would be 52,631.6 people there.
And 52,631 people are gonna have PTSD from seeing the 2/3 of a person mangled on their way in through the door
Slightly less then two thirds.
Damn. This doesn’t match my experience in Hawaii at all. My in-laws live there, and everytime I visit I sustain my life with fruit and Avacados. I’d kill for some plant based SPAM.
I thought they were big on pork, much like other pacific island nations. But also with the history of Asian immigrants and agriculture, I would think soy and soy based products would also be readily available.
Real talk though. My vegetarian wife struggled to find good vegetarian meals in Oahu that were Hawaiian themed. Not that they didn't exist. Just that they were lacking compared to most major cities in America.
Me as a BBQ eater though... Gimme dat pork butt.
Someone's gonna be going "wee wee wee" tonight
Don’t do his vegetarian wife like that, bro.
@[email protected] is the only one threatening to do anyone's hammy hinds
TIL that Hawaii is a country…
And don’t they rely on fishing? They have a severe lack of farm land…
For spam musubi?
A bit on why it proliferated:
I blame the Danes

That's a good question.
